It is nice to see Indian billionnaire Mr. Azim Premji doling out his wealth for the upliftment of education in India. Hope, other billionnaires in India will follow his path by shunning the habit of flaunting their wealth. Hats off to Mr. Azim Premji for showing this generousity for the great cause.
